Biography

Allen used to impress his fellow students with his extraordinary talent at card and magic tricks.

Milton Berle was a figure of awe to a 14-year-old Woody, who - along with some friends at New York's celebrated Circle Magic shop - introduced himself to Berle, another customer, as somebody nifty with cards. In his nervousness Allen fumbled the cards, and missed the chance of a TV spot.

In his late teens, one of his routines was published in Genii Magazine (May 1952) under the column TOWNS' TEEN TOPICS.
